Take an adventure on wheels along the west coast of Florida, where sun, sand, and mangroves await.
The west coast of Florida is prime for RVers seeking the perfect blend of relaxation and outdoor exploration. Play on pristine white-sand beaches at Sanibel Island or Clearwater Beach, the latter of which offers a smattering of beachfront RV campsites with full hookups, picnic tables, and laundry facilities. Or park in one of the Everglades National Park’s RV-friendly campgrounds to experience a labyrinth of mangroves, marshes, and subtropical wilderness like the secretive cape sable seaside sparrow. Drive the campervan or RV over to Big Bend Seagrasses Aquatic Preserve, an ecologically significant area known for its vibrant marine life, to spot manatees and dolphins as well as its seagrass beds and shallow bays. Go kayaking, boating, and fishing around the preserve before parking at a nearby RV resort or private RV campsite with wifi or perhaps a fishing pier. For a blend of urban and nature, drive to Tampa Bay, then park near Hillsborough River for a campsite with electrical hookups, restrooms, and access to hiking trails and canoe rentals. Nearby parks like Alafia River State Park and Brooker Creek Preserve are solid options for moderate hikes and wildlife viewing.
